Failure to do so can result in personal injury.
Remove Interior Packaging
Your appliance has been packed for shipment with all parts
that could be damaged by movement securely fastened.
Remove internal packing materials and any tape holding in-
ternal components in place. The owners manual is shipped
inside the product in a plastic bag along with the warranty
registration card, and other accessory items.
Important
Keep your carton and packaging until your appliance has
been thoroughly inspected and found to be in good condi-
tion. If there is damage, the packaging will be needed as
proof of damage in transit. Afterwards please dispose of all

Note to Customer
This merchandise was carefully packed and thoroughly
inspected before leaving our plant. Responsibility for its
safe delivery was assumed by the retailer upon acceptance
of the shipment. Claims for loss or damage sustained in
transit must be made to the retailer.
DO NOT RETURN DAMAGED MERCHANDISE TO THE
MANUFACTURER - FILE THE CLAIM WITH THE
RETAILER.
If the appliance was shipped, handled, or stored in other

Electrical Connection
A grounded 115 volt, 15 amp dedicated circuit is required.
This product is factory equipped with a power supply
cord that has a three-pronged, grounded plug. It must be
plugged into a mating grounding type receptacle in accor-
dance with the National Electrical Code and applicable lo-
cal codes and ordinances (see Figure 4). If the circuit does
not have a grounding type receptacle, it is the responsibility
and obligation of the customer to provide the proper power
supply. The third ground prong should not, under any cir-
cumstances, be cut or removed.
Figure 4
NOTE
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) are prone to nui-
sance tripping which will cause the appliance to shut down.
GFCI’s are generally not used on circuits with power equip-
ment that must run unattended for long periods of time, un-
less required to meet local building codes and ordinances.

Water Supply
Observe and follow all local building codes when installing

This ice machine must be connected to a potable cold
water supply line. delivering water pressure between a
minimum of 20 psi and a maximum of 120 psi.
Use
1
»4" copper tubing for your water supply which is
available at any local hardware or plumbing supply store.
Route the
1
»4" copper tubing to suit your installation being
sure not to kink the tubing. Purchase enough copper tubing
length to allow a coil to be formed behind the unit for a
"service loop" which will allow the appliance to be pulled
out from the installation for servicing or cleaning. Connect
the copper tubing to the "top side" of a cold water pipe to
prevent the ice-maker from plugging with sediment.
A shutoff valve is recommended on the water supply line to
ease servicing the appliance. NOTE: A SELF-PIERCING
TYPE VALVE IS NOT RECOMMENDED as they are prone
to clogging with sediment which will create pressure drop
reducing the water supply to the unit.
Connect the copper tubing water supply to the water valve
LQOHWZLWKDFRPSUHVVLRQQXWILWWLQJ
IMPORTANT: Secure the water supply line to the back of
the cabinet with the screw and strain relief clamp provided
in the corner of the back panel.
Make certain all connections are watertight after
installation. Form the tubing so that it will not vibrate
against the cabinet body or kink when your appliance is
moved in and out of position.
This ice machine is designed to make clear ice from the
majority of water sources on a daily basis. If your results
